Chapter 481: Chapter 476: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 11 [Explosive Update 05]

——————

Li Xiaochun was feeling insecure. Now, she wanted to go back and try to please her eldest daughter-in-law, and it goes without saying that it would be a great loss of face!

She didn’t want to!

You see, Li Xiaochun had been exerting influence and enjoying privileges at Xie Jinghong’s place for six years. To actually let go of her ’mother-in-law’ demeanor and please her, Li Xiaochun couldn’t swallow her pride!

Moreover, even if she tried to please Xie Jinghong, would Xie Jinghong really let go of all the resentment she harbored over the years?

Li Xiaochun put herself in the other’s shoes and found she couldn’t do it!

So, she could only see it through to the end!

If her grandson was adopted by Feng Shou and Feng Shou planned to take his wife and daughter to his maternal family, at least her adorable grandson would stay and keep her company!

The older people get, the more they fear an empty home. Seeing that both her sons were unreliable, Li Xiaochun just wanted a close and adorable grandson.

Forget about the eldest grandson. That child, always looking at her coldly with those tiger-like eyes resembling the Xie Family, made Li Xiaochun feel a chill down her spine!

So, even though the eldest grandson was the first grandson of the Fan Family, Li Xiaochun didn’t care for him!

Moreover, that child was already five years old! A five-year-old in the countryside remembered things already!

Towards his own mother, he showed no closeness, he didn’t bond with her at all, and Li Xiaochun didn’t want him.

As for Er Qiang and Xiao Xian, in her eyes, though Er Qiang looked like the eldest son, Xiao Xian had a better temperament. Because of his premature birth, Xiao Xian was physically weaker and thus softer, which suited Li Xiaochun just fine.

Other issues aside, Li Xiaochun, being old, just wanted a docile grandson. Too active a child, like Er Qiang, who always caused her distress with his antics, was not to her liking.

However, Li Xiaochun’s wishes were muddled!

Once the senior head of the Xie Family returned, this adoption couldn’t just push through by merely coercing her eldest son and his wife to agree; it required the consent of the Xie Family!

Thinking of Li Xiaoxia, who, after finishing breakfast, would haughtily go back to her parents’ home, filled Li Xiaochun with anger and made her even more determined to have a grandson by her side!

Why should she, an old lady at her age, cook delicious meals for you, and you, as her daughter-in-law, dare to still give her attitude?

Li Xiaochun purely felt that Li Xiaoxia’s behavior was a provocation, completely missing the fact that since Fan Fengshou returned late from overtime last night, the originally improved mood of Li Xiaoxia instantly changed when she came close to him and smelled the scent of another woman on him!

That night, she went straight into her daughter’s room to sleep there.

The next day, she still managed to pretend to be normal enough to have breakfast with her daughter and send her to school before going back to her parents’ house to complain. It was truly the most rational act she had performed in nearly ten years of marriage!

Li Xiaochun didn’t notice anything amiss with Li Xiaoxia; having been widowed for over twenty years, she couldn’t fathom whether her daughter-in-law was in a bad mood.

At this moment, Li Xiaochun had gone to the house of her daughter, who married into the same town, and started crying out her complaints.

Fan Hongshan listened and just felt a headache brewing. She felt lucky that she didn’t live with her in-laws, otherwise, her mother’s theatrics would truly be embarrassingly deadly.

And in the past two months, Fan Hongshan had never been so embarrassed! Everyone lived in the same town, and any little whisper couldn’t be hidden!

The mess involving her younger brother had already caused a storm of gossip in the town. As his elder sister, she had privately been the butt of many jokes. Even her husband had scolded her once, telling her to go back and manage Fan Fengshou.

Nonsense, if she could control Feng Shou, she wouldn’t live in the same town and hardly visit even a handful of times a year!

Speaking of her younger brother and mother, Fan Hongshan truly looked sad and distressed.

But now, Li Xiaochun, this biological mother, is sitting on the sofa newly bought by her family’s princess, crying with tears splashing everywhere, and she only feels heartache for that new sofa!

"Alright, mother, stop crying. What’s the matter this time?"

Since entering the house, the old mother had just sat there crying by herself, gripping her arm tightly and preventing her from forcefully pulling away. It had been ten minutes already, when would she stop crying?

Fortunately, she had already eaten before coming over to make a fuss, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to eat her lunch today either.

"Hong Shan, I know you are annoyed by me, but I genuinely feel miserable inside!" After a bout of crying, Li Xiaochun finally felt a bit of relief in her heart.

"Ha!" Fan Hongshan heard it and once again it was the old tune from her mother, she snorted in response.

Li Xiaochun didn’t care about her daughter’s attitude, she just wanted an audience and someone by her side to cheer her on. Seeing her daughter’s calm demeanor, she instantly began to complain:

"Hong Shan, you know about your brother’s situation. I just wanted your eldest brother to let Xiao Xian be adopted by Feng Shou—"

"What? Mother, are you out of your mind?!" Fan Hongshan didn’t let her mother finish her sentence, and incredulously raised her voice.

"You, you" Li Xiaochun was startled by her daughter’s sudden loud voice and stopped talking.

"Mother, stop it, if you came for this matter, just go back to Fan Fengshou’s place! I’ve told you several times, my sister-in-law is much better than that Xiao Xia of yours, and you’ll have to depend on my sister-in-law for your old age!

Now, you’re telling me you want my sister-in-law’s Xiao Xian to be adopted by Feng Shou? Have you forgotten how my sister-in-law had her premature birth?"

Fan Hongshan unceremoniously criticized the old mother because in recent years, the old mother had become increasingly excessive, which was why she felt so indifferent toward her widowed mother!

Otherwise, if Li Xiaochun were a bit fairer, her attitude toward this widowed mother wouldn’t be so poor!

Every time Fan Hongshan thought of her mother’s biased behavior, she couldn’t sleep: Why was her fate so miserable, saddled with such a biological mother and brother?!

Fan Hongshan really wished she could crack her mother’s head open to see if it was filled with grass for Fan Fengshou to lead her by the nose all the time!

How could the eldest daughter-in-law have moved out and still they want to make trouble?!

Li Xiaochun was overwhelmed by her daughter’s consecutive outbursts, standing dumbfounded with her mouth agape, still unable to recover.

"Aiya, mother, I know it’s useless to talk to you, this adoption thing, is it your idea or Fan Fengshou’s?"

"I want, Feng Shou also has a part..."

"Really pigeon-livered mother and son!" Fan Hongshan muttered lowly, then spread her hands like an old bachelor, helplessly clarifying her stance:

"Mother, don’t say I, as your daughter, don’t help you, just think of me as an unfilial daughter then! How could my sister-in-law ever let Xiao Xian be adopted by Li Xiaoxia to raise? You better not cause my brother and aunt to divorce! Please—only if my sister-in-law is foolish will she agree to have Xiao Xianzi adopted by Fan Fengshou, okay!"

"You!" Seeing her daughter not helping her at all and even pointedly cursing her mind, Li Xiaochun was infuriated yet didn’t know how to respond.

"Mom, you are a mother yourself. Didn’t Aunt want you to let Fan Fengshou be adopted by their family back then? How did you curse them back?"

What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others!

"Fan Hongshan, don’t forget, Feng Shou is your own brother!" Hearing this, Li Xiaochun got truly annoyed and stood up to shout.

Whenever this old issue was mentioned, Li Xiaochun was like being stung by Huang Feng, glaring fiercely across.

Seeing her mother angrily stand up and point at her accusingly, Fan Hongshan had enough of the burdens from her maternal little brother, and displeased, she stood up and retorted:

"Mother, all you think about is Feng Shou, Feng Shou! Have you ever considered my brother’s position at all?? When you’re being a mother to your two sons, you only favor Fan Fengshou, with your daughters-in-law, you only favor Li Xiaoxia. I just want to ask you, do you even see me and your eldest son in your eyes?"

Ignoring her own children, not to mention her poor sister-in-law.
